idea. She mentioned that this idea came from both members of the Council and from <br />staffmembers. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked about a previous process where park benches were named in <br />memory of someone in the community. He asked if this process went to Council for <br />approval or to the Civic Arts Commission or the Parks and Recreation Commission? <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan noted that the conceptual idea came forward to Council without a <br />piece of artwork or any parameters. It then went to the Civic Arts Commission, who <br />selected a professional to try and select an artist who would prepare the design. Based <br />upon a specific request, the bench was placed in a specific park as the deceased used to <br />walk through that particular park. She noted that if Council chose to go in this direction, <br />the Civic Arts Commission would become involved. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky pointed out that the Parks and Recreation Commission had taken <br />the responsibility of making recommendations for the Callippe Preserve Golf Course. If <br />Council were to take action this evening, he asked if this process would go to the Civic <br />Arts Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission or staff?. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan pointed out that the Golf Committee and the Parks and Recreation <br />Commission have been involved with the clubhouse and the room within the clubhouse. <br />Separate from the room is the consideration for what would be placed in the room, and if <br />artwork were to be placed in that room, the Civic Arts Commission would become <br />involved. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell was confused. He wondered if Council was discussing Item 6a(1) <br />or the Parks and Recreation Commission staffreport that was provided today to Council. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico indicated that Council was discussing Item 6a(1). The Parks and <br />Recreation Commission staffreport was only provided as background information. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell believed Council was drifting into a discussion on the actual Policy <br />for Naming Public Facilities. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky noted that he originally brought this issue up because the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission is currently working on the City's Policy for Naming Public <br />Facilities, and he was not sure if it made sense to take action at that time to pay tribute to <br />Randy Lum. Based on tonight's discussions, he believed this issue was not the same as <br />naming a facility after someone. Since the Parks and Recreation Commission had not <br />finished with the City's Policy for Naming Public Facilities, he believed the Commission <br />should be asked to address this type of issue so that there is one policy that is complete <br />and addresses everything. He noted exceptions could always be made. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman appreciated Mr. Brozosky's position and comments. She did <br />support the review of the City's Policy for Naming Public Facilities as she had concerns <br />about the process for recognizing individuals by naming buildings, rooms, etc. in his or <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 6 01/20/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
